@MyShadowLove : My PCP is two years from retirement and he is just doing the basics. 

I will be calling the gastro  doctor , first thing Monday morning. I have been trying to keep notes. One friend said: If he said the colonoscopy confirmed ulcerative colitis and I explain all of my symptoms and issues he needs to do a prescription and not wait until my appointment. Every time that I tried to research ulcerative colitis, the page had pop up ads for the current medications available for this.

When I called on Wednesday was told that my message would be sent to the doctors nurse and she would talk with the doctor and she would return my call or if necessary the doctor would call. I stayed home all this time and if I was doing anything , I kept the phone, paper and pen with me. If I made a call it was on my cell phone because the office has my land line, phone number. Just frustrated. I am still researching info to see about changing doctors for pcp and gastro.

@qualitygal : Yea!! New carpet.

I had hoped that 2023 would be my year for new carpet.

We moved in our house in 2002 and never replaced the carpet and no idea how old it is. DH and I had problems agreeing about the flooring. In 2016 we remodel the kitchen and added a combo dinning and family room.I insisted on laminate and love it but DH has been fussing every since about the laminate.

The last time the carpet was professional cleaned the guy stated he will not clean it again due to all the ripples and afraid the carpet will pull apart. So this month we decided to purchase a carpet cleaner: yes it looks much better but still needs to be replaced.

If you don't mind sharing: what brand of carpet and color?

Do you have a Magala carpet place?  We replaced  the area that was heavy traffic and I'm so happy with what we got. They did a great job. It's got some browns in it with tans.  No pattern, but the other was too  light!

@qualitygal : Your carpet sounds wonderful. I checked but not available in my area.Thanks for sharing the information. Enjoy your new carpet. I want something brown/tan. Not too dark or light.

@cowboy sam : Good morning. I am hungry. Didn't get much sleep last night. Had thunder storms and tornado warning. Tornado warning expired and light rain. Now , do not want to get up. I need to take a shower and then cook something for us to eat. What are you doing today?🤗

@SouthernBee , for constipation....

Warm prune juice followed by a cup of hot coffee. Works like a charm!

Drink lots of water and increase in activity also helps.

Stool softener. 

[SouthernBee]

@loveschocolate : Thanks. I can not do prune juice. Last two days , what worked for me : eating a few prunes, raisin bran, apple sauce, at least 8 glasses of water and the exercise that @Yahooey suggested. Everyone has to find what works for them.🤗

@cowboy sam : I totally understand about eating at the same place all the time. Dh does that.

I haven't done any laundry.

Dinner is finally in the oven. Mom called it : Meal in a Dish: brown ground beef with bell peppers and onions: drain. Add : one can of tomato soup and one can of creamed corn, one cup of cook macaroni, and two cups of shredded cheese. Bake in oven for 30 minutes. I have to double the recipe for DH to get enough to eat. Probably not good for me to be eating but didn't feel like cooking.🤗
